Weekly Task Grid: Week 1
English Task: (To be completed and submitted after Webex)
Learning Intention: I am learning to use interesting vocabulary to write a story
Success Criteria:
I can:
share what I remember about the story
build vocabulary to use
begin writing the story
Whole Class Explanation:
Last term we began writing our own version of "The Red Book"
Today we are going to continue writing our own version of "The Red Book"
Task:
look at pages 5 and 6. Think back to what was discussed with Mrs Doyle. What do we see? What words help describe the images?
Task (all groups):
Using the vocabulary we have discussed, continue writing the story for "The Red Book"
Today we are only going to focus on pages 5 and 6.
Mathematics Task:
Learning Intention:
I am learning how to solve multiplication problems using arrays
Success Criteria:
explain the difference between columns and rows
represent a number as an array
Fluency Task:
Using the same grids as last term, answer the following repeated addition problems:
4 groups of 2
4 groups of 4
3 groups of 6
Whole Class Explanation:
Today we are continuing our work on arrays that we began last term. You will be spending time this Friday with Mrs Doyle continuing this topic, but for today we are going to revisit what we completed last term.
Please watch the video below (I know we have watched it already, but it will be a good reminder as we have been on holiday for two weeks!) and then answer questions about arrays from your group. Remember, as an extension you can also write some of your own questions!
Multiplication arrays
Watch the video to see how to create arrays to solve multiplication problems
Example: Today, I am going to give you a number in which you will be able to create as many different arrays as you can.
As an example, I will start with the number 12.
The number 12 can be broken into many different arrays. Just look at my examples to the right!
In the first example I have 4 rows of 3. If you count each dot, you will see that it equals 12.
In the second example I have 2 rows of 6. Once again, if you count them out it will equal 12.
Can you think of any other ways that 12 might be split into an array?
Task (all groups):
Look at the following numbers. How many arrays can you create for each number? Remember that an array will always be a rectangle.
12 (look at my example above to get you started!)

QUEST Task:
Learning Intention:
I am learning to investigate different games.
Success Criteria:
I can:
Play the game correctly
Describe what I like about the game
Describe what I would change
Whole Class Explanation:
This term our concept for QUEST is 'Designing the Future'. We will be exploring a range of different types of games and creating your own game by the end of the term.
To get us started and thinking about the different types of games around, this week you will be playing a range of games where you will be describing things that you like about the game and thinking about what you would change to improve it.
Task:
Think about all of the games you enjoy playing and choose your favourite game to play.
Read the rules to your favourite game and play the game with your family.
In your QUEST Doc answer the following questions about the game you just played:
What was the name of your game?
What did you like the best about the game (try to think of some part of the game that you liked best, not winning)
What would you change to improve this game?
